Thanks but no thanks. We believe Moses was a perfect tzadik— a righteous prophet, the greatest, who was G-d’s (metaphoric) back.

Moses= perfect and good.

Shmendrik Finkelstein (your average Jew) = not yet good, but with work can think, speak, and act 100% perfectly. May take a life to master... but that’s what Jews do with their faith. And they keep on working at it.

And all we want the non-Jewish world to observe is 7 general commandments..... you too.

An interesting point, pre-Nicaean Christians, believing Jesus to be holy/a prophet/etc, though not G-d (G-d forbid,) happened to observe these seven commandments nicely.

I do believe in the 10 commandments, as a roadside barrier.
Life can be lived well and progress within them towards God, but will not be made perfect in them as all have failed.

I know many Christians believe they are liberated from the law in Christ.. I believe we are liberated from our sins in Christ..But the law represents the boundaries..it is obvious that a world that does not obey the law cannot be Heaven..
But these laws become written on our hearts as we no longer wish to suffer from the reactions of our misdeeds. This can only be done in Christ, when we humble ourselves. It is in Him we become one in God, and become Children. God creates many relationships as he creates to enjoy His creations.
Nice speaking with you..Jesus is Lord..smile..
